How to update Google Chrome browser

Keep your browser up to date to avoid security breaches

by Kurt Knutsson

About every six weeks, Google updates its browser and often updates it along the way with security updates and other smaller cosmetic changes.  While many browsers can be set to automatically update, it is recommended to manually check for updates immediately.

 

Follow these steps to update the browser now.

Mac

  • For those with access to Google Chrome for Mac
  • Select About Chrome from the Chrome menu
  • Allow it to scan from a most recent update
  • Click Relaunch to complete the update

 

Windows

  • Open Chrome browser
  • At the top right, click More 
  • Click Help, then About Google Chrome
  • Select Update Google Chrome
    Note: If you do not see the “Update Google Chrome” button, then your browser is already updated
  • Click Relaunch to complete

 

Android

  • From your phone or tablet, open the Google Play Store app
  • Tap the profile icon from the top right
  • Select Manage apps & device
  • Find Chrome located under “Updates available
  • Tap Update

 

iPhone & iPad

  • Launch Apple App Store
  • Tap Profile from the top right (it looks like you or a shape of a person)
  • Scroll down to “Available Updates” and search for Chrome
  • If you see Chrome on the list, tap Update
  • Enter your passcode or Apple ID password if prompted
  • Chrome will automatically update when finished downloading
